Alright, I'll begin saying that I have an adware virus from installing a torrent program (which I already uninstalled because I didn't like it either way). So on Firefox I keep getting pop-ups to ads and other obnoxious links.
I ran AVG to see if it could get rid of it, but normal scan says everything's fine. Then when I run Deep Scan, the progress bar is always at 5%. It does seem to scan despite that, but later it gets stuck on "SVC" and I've noticed it just keeps looping on these:
SVC: WinRM > C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
SVC: WwanSvc > C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe
SVC: WpnUserService_505b7 > C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe
SVC: WIMMount > C:\Windows\system32\drivers\wimmount.sys
SVC: WmiApRpl > ???
SVC: WdNisSvc > C:\Program Fil…s\Windows Defender\NisSrv.exe
That is exactly how they appear below the progress bar. I have the free AVG version, so then I used the 30-day trial to see if anything changed, but it stays the same.
Please help me resolve this and get rid of that annoying virus.
I was a bit desperate to have ads popping up so I installed Malwarebytes to see if the adware was also screwing up AVG and it did remove the virus. I ran a Deep Scan again later on AVG and this time it finished.
Either way, thanks for the assistance!
